getopt will not be supported in the next major release.

there another solution to this problem?
I wouldn't put too much stock into that; that note came from Solaris

I think there
are too many shell scripts in the wild using `getopt` for it to ever be
removed. Indeed, if anything this highlights something to clean up
on the illumos side by removing that from the man page.
Yup, cleaning up that man page sounds like a good idea then, indeed.
